Education: “Since 2019, I have represented you with a common-sense voice at the Arizona State Capitol. I have fought to repeal the rental tax, provide funding for border security and law enforcement, and invest new dollars into our classrooms. I will keep fighting to protect our neighborhoods and support great schools and teachers.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
Jobs, wages & cost of living: “Over the last few years, I led the fight to make housing more affordable, lower inflation on our food and housing, and voted to pass one of the largest tax cuts in state history. I am proud of my votes to invest in our schools and teachers, fight drug trafficking and fentanyl, advance consumer protection, and end child sex trafficking.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
Families & communities: “As a mom and neighbor, these issues are personal to me - and critical for our community. I will continue to fight for common-sense solutions to the challenges facing our community from standing up for veterans to protecting our water supply.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Strengthen the healthcare workforce. Protect consumers from price gouging and unfair utility practices.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
